Securities Litigation
With experienced attorneys in offices located in Atlanta, New York, the District of Columbia, Raleigh, and throughout Virginia, the Troutman Sanders Securities Litigation Practice Group has the depth of experience and expertise to help clients meet the challenges of today’s business environment.
When confronted with litigation, investigations, regulatory proceedings, or other complex corporate and securities issues, our attorneys focus on the client’s business needs and objectives and work together with the client to manage risks and develop strategies for obtaining a successful result. We understand that the matters we handle are of utmost importance to our clients—not only are the stakes extremely high, but the costs and business interruptions are often substantial.
Our attorneys are result-oriented litigators with a reputation for providing the highest quality service to our clients in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Our attorneys have significant trial experience and are capable of trying the most complex issues to judges, juries, and arbitrators. However, from the outset of every engagement, we look for early solutions, whether by settlement or pre-trial proceedings. We are fully equipped to provide excellent legal representation, while at the same time maintaining a high level of accessibility and responsiveness to our clients. In addition, our attorneys remain current on changes in the market affecting our clients in order to provide the most relevant and timely counsel available, including the subprime mortgage crisis.
Class Action and Derivative Litigation
Our attorneys defend public companies, individual directors and officers, underwriters, and auditors in securities fraud class actions, shareholder derivative suits, and other securities-related litigation.
Other D&O Claims and Transactional Litigation
Our attorneys represent public and private companies and individual shareholders, directors, and officers in shareholder disputes, corporate governance claims for bad faith, breach of fiduciary duties, and negligence, and other disputes arising from complex commercial transactions such as mergers and acquisitions.
Investigations and Enforcement Actions
Our attorneys work with businesses and individuals in responding to enforcement actions, investigations, and proceedings before the SEC, the Department of Justice, and other regulatory agencies. Our attorneys also design and perform internal investigations for boards of directors and their committees who have need for a confidential, objective assessment of certain business activities or practices (independent of, or in conjunction with, governmental investigations, regulatory proceedings, or private litigation).
Brokerage Firm Representation
Our attorneys have wide experience and expertise representing both national and regional securities brokerage firms in complex lawsuits and arbitrations and in regulatory investigations and proceedings, involving the SEC, state regulatory commissions, and self-regulating organizations (NASD, NYSE, ASE, etc.).
Regulatory Compliance
With the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in 2002, securities and regulatory compliance has become increasingly complicated, and the activities of corporate boards and management are subject to intense scrutiny. The attorneys in our practice group work closely with our firm’s corporate and securities practitioners to help clients manage risks and navigate the current regulatory landscape.
